Daily Sun Leprechauns vs Real Facts Commentary
 
A commentary in today's Daily Sun seems to suggest that schools teach about Leprechauns, elves and tooth fairies but are being forced to not teach about real facts such as gay marriage and real history.

I believe the author is starting with a false premise to justify her position. What she claims is teaching is more likely dealing with topics that come up from the students.

Real facts include murder, rape, executions, auto accidents, horrors of war among other things that may come up, but are not topics that should be taught to kids who are talking about tooth fairies.

A lot of topics aren't suitable for K - 3rd grade.

This is very true, and a lot of topics should be addressed differently than other topics.

That is an easy statement to agree with. It is the selection of which topics and at what age that becomes difficult to agree on.

God forbid letting your kids watch the evening news.

If the village sun had a living breathing editor who did not take his/her marching orders from the developer the sun would not be the same paper.

So would Facebook, Twitter, CNN, CNBC, MSNBC just to illustrate the Sun is not exclusive to marching orders.

Agree! If a question about anything sexual is asked at school, it should be answered with, " ask your mommy or daddy about that". Parents responsibility and perogotive to decide what and how much is appropriate for their child.
Kids, many of whom still believe in the likes of Santa Clause and the Easter Bunny, aren't ready for all the intrecate and bizarre twists and bends of modern sex education and the evolving gender philosophy.
